关于客户
Gamma Vacuum, based in Shakopee, Minnesota, is a 23-person shop focused on becoming the world’s leading manufacturer of ion pumps. This small, global technology firm designs, manufactures and services ion pumps, titanium sublimation pumps and their controls for government labs, research universities, computer and medical industries. In a business climate dominated by competitors with 1,000+ employees, Gamma Vacuum today owns approximately a third of the $25 million market, having grown to be an industry leader through superior quality, delivery and service.
挑战
In early 2003, Gamma Vacuum spun off from a larger company that made multiple products and used several job shop management tools. As an independent new business, Gamma Vacuum took the opportunity to review available job shop software solutions with a goal of finding a solution to better manage its newly-focused business delivering the best ion pumps in the industry. Having used JD Edwards at the company from which they had just spun off, Gamma Vacuum decided to evaluate MAS 90 along with JobBOSS. Gamma chose JobBOSS based upon its ability to meet all of the company’s immediate job shop needs at a price point that was far better than the competition. Most importantly, JobBOSS delivered out of the box what would have taken considerable time to get up and running with MAS 90.
解决方案
Starting from day one in 2003, Gamma has used technology to appear as large and as capable as their Fortune 1000 competitors, but with the advantage of being a lot more nimble. Today, Gamma is using the latest versions of JobBOSS and JobBOSS Synergy, as well as JobBOSS Event Manager, with exceptional results. JobBOSS gives them the flexibility to reschedule and reveal material shortages early on. Because they are a configure-to-order shop, they do not have parts sitting on the shelf ready to ship and every job is a little bit different. Within minutes, the team can build a dummy job in JobBOSS to find out what can be delivered. “Most of our potential customers have been buying the same product from the same source for 10-15 years, primarily because it’s cost effective and there are no quality issues,” said Wynohrad. “To win their business and interrupt that pattern, we have to demonstrate extraordinary service.” This service has paid off—Gamma jobs continue to increase year over year.

Remote Temperature Monitoring of Perishable Goods Saves Money
RMONI was facing temperature monitoring challenges in a cold chain business. A cold chain must be established and maintained to ensure goods have been properly refrigerated during every step of the process, making temperature monitoring a critical business function. Manual registration practice can be very costly, labor intensive and prone to mistakes.

Leveraging the IoT to Gain a Competitive Edge in International Competition
Many large manufacturers in and outside Japan are competing for larger market share in the same space, expecting a growing demand for projectors in the areas of entertainment, which requires glamor and strong visual performance as well as digital signage that can attract people’s attention. “It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate ourselves with stand-alone hardware products,” says Kazuyuki Kitagawa, Director of Service & Support at Panasonic AVC Networks. “In order for Panasonic to grow market share and overall business, it is essential for us to develop solutions that deliver significant added value.” Panasonic believes projection failure and quality deterioration should never happen. This is what and has driven them to make their projectors IoT-enabled. More specifically, Panasonic has developed a system that collects data from projectors, visualizes detailed operational statuses, and predicts issues and address them before failure occurs. Their projectors are embedded with a variety of sensors that measure power supply, voltage, video input/ output signals, intake/exhaust air temperatures, cooling fan operations, and light bulb operating time. These sensors have been used to make the projector more intelligent, automatically suspending operation when the temperature rises excessively, and automatically switching light bulbs. Although this was a great first step, Panasonic projectors were still not equipped with any capability to send the data over a network.
